Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Curitiba
Curitiba is the city that other cities come to copy. Sitting on a cool plateau about nine hundred metres above the sea in southern Brazil, the capital of Paraná state became known in the 1970s for a handful of radical ideas: dedicated bus lanes with tube-shaped boarding stations, pedestrian streets, and a network of parks that took care of flood problems along the rivers. The result is a tidy, green and surprisingly calm city of nearly two million people, with a more European feel than most Brazilian places.
